The Morals (Moralia), Book 2 – Plutarch | Catholic Audiobook Review Part 2

447 min • 10 augusti 2025

📖 Catholic Book Review (⭐ 4.5/5):
In The Morals (Moralia), Book 2, Plutarch continues his exploration of virtue, character, and human conduct with the depth and eloquence that made him one of antiquity’s greatest moral philosophers.

Though writing from a pre-Christian worldview, his insights on justice, friendship, and the pursuit of the good life harmonize strongly with Catholic natural law principles. His wisdom, grounded in reason, points toward truths later fulfilled in the Gospel. Strengths: Deeply reasoned ethical reflections, timeless moral principles, and a strong advocacy for virtue.
Minor Cautions: Lacks the supernatural theology of grace, meaning virtue is presented in purely human terms rather than in the fullness of Christ’s redemptive vision.

Overall, this work offers Catholics a valuable engagement with classical philosophy, showing how God’s truth can be glimpsed even before its fullness was revealed.

📝 Description:
Experience The Morals (Moralia), Book 2 by Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus, a treasury of philosophical wisdom on virtue, morality, and the art of living well. This Catholic audiobook review explores how Plutarch’s thought—though pagan in origin—echoes principles of Catholic moral teaching and natural law.

Perfect for listeners who value the intersection of classical philosophy, ethics, and faith, this volume challenges the mind while inspiring the soul.
